INTERVIEWS FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) Practice
Author: Thanthullu Vasu
Publisher: tfm Publishing Limited
ISBN: 1913755339
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 658
Book Description
Medical interviews have changed a lot with time; in the last two decades, multiple mini interviews (MMIs) have revolutionized the assessment strategies for entrance to medical schools. MMIs usually consist of 6-10 stations of independent assessments done in a timed circuit so that the same examiner evaluates a specific skill for a station among the candidates. Many of these stations assess a candidate’s soft skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, team working, leadership and professional attitudes in addition to their knowledge, skills and motivation towards choosing medicine as a career. MMIs are not just a test of a candidate’s knowledge or skills, but their ability to use it appropriately at the right time. Aristotle said, ‘we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit’. Candidates wishing to succeed in medical MMI interviews need repetitive practice in the various stations. These stations usually include assessments on communication skills, medical ethics, recent medical facts, role play with an empathetic approach, data interpretation and calculations, scenario-based situations, personal character, motivation and judgment. This book will provide an excellent variety of opportunities to practice these stations and guide the candidate with a framework of answers. This book can be used for various medical university entrance exams, including those in the United Kingdom via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the United States via the American Medical College Application Service (AMCA), Canada via the respective Medical School Applications Service, Australia via the specific state Tertiary Admissions Centre and many other countries via their specific admission pathways. Dr. Thanthullu Vasu has previously published four medical books alongside many chapters and articles in leading international journals. He has founded, organized and directed many teaching courses that have received excellent feedback. He regularly organizes national MMI courses for candidates applying to medical schools; these courses are in high demand and have consistently produced a successful outcome. Many of the contributors in the book are team members from the RISE Foundation Leicestershire, a charity based in Leicestershire (https://risefoundationuk.com/). All the contributors have extensive experience as examiners in many interviews and courses. The royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to the RISE Foundation Leicestershire. Thank you for buying this book, as the money will go towards helping various causes supported by this charity. We wish you much success in your interviews and your future medical career.
